Title: [ANSWERED]kernel support for extended attributes
Post by: lverns on December 08, 2013, 09:28:21 AM

I just have a quick question. (I think.)

Is the 32bit kernel used in 5.x built with support for extended attributes on the ext* filesystems?

I took a look at http://www.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/release/src/kernel/config-3.8.10-tinycore
but I really can't tell. I'm having trouble setting custom attributes (setfattr: file.txt: Operation not supported) and I want to make sure it isn't the kernel before I go any farther.

Thanks,
lverns

They are always enabled as of 3.7: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=939da1084458246d2e29dd921c2012c177000e96

Thanks curaga, I'll look elsewhere for the source of my troubles.
